Completing the Square
The Aim of Completing the Square
… is to write a quadratic function as a perfect square.
Here are some examples of perfect squares!
x2 + 6x + 9x2 - 10x + 25x2 + 12x + 36
Try to factor these (they’re easy).
Perfect Square Trinomialsx2 + 6x + 9x2 - 10x + 25x2 + 12x + 36
Can you see a numerical connection between …
6 and 9 using 3
-10 and 25 using -5
12 and 36 using 6
=(x+3)2
=(x-5)2
=(x+6)2
The Perfect Square Connection
For a perfect square, the following relationships will always be true …
x2 + 6x + 9
x2 - 10x + 25
Half of these values squared … are these values

Standard 9 Write a quadratic function in vertex form
Vertex form- Is a way of writing a quadratic equation that facilitates finding the vertex.
y – k = a(x – h)2
The h and the k represent the coordinates of the vertex in the form V(h, k).The “a” if it is positive it will mean that our parabola opens upward and if negative it will open downward.A small value for a will mean that our parabola is wider and vice versa.
y + = (x2 + 8x + ) + 25
Standard to Graphing: Quadratic
y = x2 + 8x + 25

Standard 9 Write a quadratic function in vertex form
Write y = x2 – 10x + 22 in vertex form. Then identify the vertex.
y = x2 – 10x + 22 Write original function.
y + ? = (x2 –10x + ? ) + 22 Prepare to complete the square.
y + 25 = (x2 – 10x + 25) + 22Add –102
2( ) = (–5)2= 25 to each side.
y + 25 = (x – 5)2 + 22 Write x2 – 10x + 25 as a binomial squared.
y = (x – 5)2 - 3Write in vertex form.
The vertex form of the function is y = (x – 5)2 - 3 The vertex is (5, –3).

EXAMPLE 7 Find the maximum value of a quadratic function
The height y (in feet) of a baseball t seconds after it is hit is given by this function:
Baseball
y = –16t2 + 96t + 3
Find the maximum height of the baseball.
SOLUTION
The maximum height of the baseball is the y-coordinate of the vertex of the parabola with the given equation.
EXAMPLE 7 Find the maximum value of a quadratic function
y = –16t2 + 96t +3 Write original function.
y + ? = –16(t2 –6t + ? ) + 3 Prepare to complete the square.
y – 144 = –16(t – 3)2 + 3 Write t2 – 6t + 9 as a binomial squared.
y = –16(t – 3)2 + 147Vertex Form
y = –16(t2 – 6t) +3 Factor –16 from first two terms.
y +(–16)(9) = –16(t2 – 6t + 9 ) + 3 Add to each side.(–16)(9)
The vertex is (3, 147), so the maximum height of the baseball is 147 feet.
ANSWER
Write the function in vertex form, and identify its vertex
Factor so the coefficient of x2 is 1.
g(x) = 5(x2 – 10x) + 128Set up to complete the square.
Add .
Because
is multiplied by 5,
you must add 5 .
Check It Out! Example 4b
g(x) = 5x2 – 50x + 128
g(x)+ = 5(x2 – 10x + ) + 128
g(x)+ = 5(x2 – 10x + ) + 128
Simplify and factor.g(x) = 5(x – 5)2 + 3
Because h = 5 and k = 3, the vertex is (5, 3).
